Image source, PAThere were a small group of protesters gathered outside Jamaica's parliament brandishing placards that read "reparations now" as David Cameron gave his speech. Jamaican prime minister Portia Simpson Miller told MPs she had discussed the "difficult issues of reparations" with Mr Cameron and wanted to "actively engage the UK on the matter".
Image source, PAIn a speech to Jamaica's Parliament, David Cameron has spoken of the "painful legacy" of slavery but ruled out reparations for Britain's historical role in the slave trade and its impact on Jamaican society. Read our full story here. He told Jamaican MPs:
Quote MessageWhile there is indeed much to celebrate about our past, it would be wrong to do so while ignoring the most painful aspects of it - a period which should never be forgotten, and from which history has drawn the bitterest of lessons. Slavery was and is abhorrent in all its forms. It has no place whatsoever in any civilised society, and Britain is proud to have eventually led the way in its abolition. That the Caribbean has emerged from the long shadow it cast is testament to the resilience and spirit of its people. I acknowledge that these wounds run very deep indeed. But I do hope that, as friends who have gone through so much together since those darkest of times, we can move on from this painful legacy and continue to build for the future."

More newspaper reaction to today's nuclear row. "Jeremy Corbyn risked a fresh row with his party today by declaring that he would never authorise the use of nuclear weapons if he became prime minister," says the Times, external.
Quote MessageThe comment came the day after the Labour leader told delegates at the party conference that he had a 'mandate' to push for the scrapping of Britain’s nuclear deterrent even though Labour’s official policy, backed by the trade unions, is to support the replacement of Trident."
Image source, PADavid Cameron has said Jeremy Corbyn's comments on Trident showed Labour could not be trusted with Britain's national security. During a visit to Jamaica, the prime minister said:
Quote MessageThe independent nuclear deterrent that we have in Britain is a vital insurance policy for our nation in what is a very dangerous world. And frankly, the way the Labour leader has answered that question demonstrates that Labour can't be trusted with our national security which, after all, is the most important duty of government."

Image source, Getty ImagesShadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn says Jeremy Corbyn should abide by the party's decision on renewing Trident. While he wants a nuclear-free world, "you have to negotiate them out of existence and not give them up independently", he says.
Quote MessageI think a British prime minister has to have that option and the whole purpose of the deterrent of course is it is trying to deter a potential enemy because they're not sure what you're going to do and that puts them off."
BBC News Channel
BBC political correspondent Vicky Young gives her verdict on today's events to the BBC News Channel. She says Labour had "papered over the cracks" of any policy disagreements for much of this conference week, but Jeremy Corbyn's pronouncements on Trident and the reaction it provoked revealed "a much more chaotic and out-of-control situation".
Image source, Getty ImagesA source close to the shadow chancellor, John McDonnell, said he had at no stage had any conversation with Sadiq Khan about the top rate of taxation, and had not changed his mind as a result of any intervention.
On the Today programme this morning Mr Khan said: "John is listening - I was quite quick to explain in my view that a 60p top rate of tax would not make sense - John McDonnell agrees with me now and has changed his mind."
The source added that McDonnell had made clear since becoming shadow chancellor that the 60 pence top rate was something that was not being pursued at this time.
Mr McDonnell told ITV News earlier this week, external he was open to debating it.

Former Labour shadow minister John Woodcock tells the BBC News channel that Jeremy Corbyn's comments that he would not press the nuclear button "would actually make the grotesque horror of a nuclear holocaust more likely, not less". Without a willingness to use the weapons, they are "not a deterrent", he argues. He thinks Mr Corbyn's remarks must have been "dispiriting for the likes of Maria Eagle and Andy Burnham" who disagree with him over the issue but agreed to serve under him.
The Daily Telegraph
"Jeremy Corbyn faces shadow cabinet mutiny over Trident," says the Daily Telegraph, external. It says the Labour leader "has put himself on collision course with his own Labour shadow cabinet over defence policy by declaring he would never launch a nuclear strike if he was prime minister".
The Guardian
Some reaction from the newspapers' websites to the final day of the Labour conference. "Trident divisions overshadow final day at Labour conference," says the Guardian, external. "In a show of deep divisions over Trident in the shadow cabinet, Maria Eagle described the Labour leader’s comments as unhelpful – prompting a rebuke from Diane Abbott, the shadow development secretary. Sir Paul Kenny, the general secretary of the GMB union, said he also disagreed with Corbyn," write Nicholas Watt and Patrick Wintour.
